Floyd Mayweather is back in the ring for his latest exhibition fight tonight as the boxing legend faces John Gotti III in Florida.
The former five-weight world champion retired from boxing with a flawless record of 50-0 after stopping Conor McGregor in his final fight five years ago, but has since been competing in sporadic exhibition bouts. Mayweather's latest ring venture comes against MMA fighter Gotti, who is known for being the grandson of New York mob boss John Gotti.
Gotti has a MMA record of 5-1 but has since crossed over to boxing where he is unbeaten in two fights. The 30-year-old has admitted he used to study Mayweather's technique on YouTube as he admires the skill of 'Money'. With all of that considered, here's what you need to know about their fight...

Mayweather: "We came back to Miami to give back to the kids who are less fortunate. It's about letting them know that one day they can be the next Floyd Mayweather or the next Mauricio Sulaiman. You can be whatever you want to be. If I am able to reach out to the kids, I will always be there to do that shine for them."
Gotti: "I grew up idolising Floyd and I’m honoured to have this chance to step into the ring against him. He’s one of the greatest boxers of all time and he’s the reason I got into the fight game but I’m going to punish him. Make no mistake on June 11 I am bringing bad intentions to that man, and I don't care if it is an exhibition fight or not it is kill or be killed."
